One of the portfolio images shows, incredibly enough, Saddam Hussein's Iraq at a time (in 1990) when the butcher of Baghdad was known to have weapons of mass destruction (which it used on its own Kurds) and to torture children in Baghdad prisons; at a time when the United Nations was not being praised to the skies for its alleged role as the neutral arbiter of what constitutes human rights as well as of what constitutes rightful military intervention; and at a time, naturally, when America was not being demonized for having the temerity of invading Iraq to overthrow the perpetrator of those crimes.
